Open;
Who: Nanako and EVERYONE!
When: Early March
Where: The BRAND NEW Shelter of Nanshe in the Central District
What: Nanako's Temple has moved and gotten a makeover! So this seems the perfect time to have a party and also to watch the blooming cherry blossoms!
[ Nanako's Temple had moved once before, so that in itself wasn't all that surprising, especially after almost an entire year here now. But she hadn't been expecting the Temple to change completely, adding more rooms and more of a homier vibe than the shrine had had before. Parts of it reminded her a little more of what her big brother's temple had felt like when he'd been here, and she's grateful for that, although she's a little worried because there seems to be so many rooms that she keeps finding in so many nooks and crannies. Maybe her temple just goes on forever now?
Either way, the move timed as it is seems like the perfect excuse to throw a big picnic outdoors on the grounds around her temple, which seems perfectly suited to host a large number of her friends over at any given time. And with her temple surrounded by cherry trees, their blossoms full and colorful right now, it makes the setting an inviting little corner to sit an mingle for a while.
The day before, every single temple in the Heavens would have found a carefully-crafted invitation on their doorstep, the words carefully written out in a childish hand, inviting them to a Cherry Blossom Viewing at Nanshe's Shelter. There's even a carefully drawn little map on the back to show them where to go, since Nanako doesn't want anyone getting lost on their way to the new location.
There are blankets laid out in the grass beneath the trees and on the wood and stone patios are little tables and chairs clustered together invitingly. There is food set out on a stretching buffet, the platters somehow never seeming to run low on food. There are decorations strung up along the outside of the temple and around the trees in pink and creams, although some of them certainly look to have been made or put up by decidedly childish hands.
As for the goddess herself, she flits about the party with a bright smile, happy to see everyone who shows up and making sure her friends are having fun, or maybe introducing herself to anyone she hasn't met yet. ]

[This would be as good of a time as any to pass off her gift, so with a cheery smile, she fishes a small, pink gift bag out of her picnic basket.]
I know this is our first time meeting, but I wanted to thank you for inviting me over today! [The package is held out to Nanako,] This is for you.

You didn't have to bring me a present! But thank you!

[It was a shot in the dark to pick anything out, after all. However, for a young girl inviting people over for a flower viewing party, a set of flowery hairpins and a pair of cute bookmarks seemed like a safe bet.]
It was very kind of you to invite so many people over for a fun day, so I wanted to make sure to do something nice in return.
no subject
Oh, they're so pretty! Thank you!

[She felt fairly confident that her choices would go over well, but it is something of a relief to see that her guesses were successes.]
And, I'm sure those hairpins will look extra pretty on you.
